Depending on where you go, no it's not that bad. Just like Sweden.
Zachary Walker
I still think that America is a good country. Only a dozen countries are better than them. Poland not included.
Josiah Wilson
Is exactly like Brazil:
You´re black or brown? you´re fucked
You have european heritage? You live better than in Europe
Brody Ramirez
no, of course not
Jacob Hernandez

i wish i was a black hoodlum sipping yak and throwing dice with my gang
Oliver Phillips
For some it is.
Many Americans don't know how poor and mistreated they are when compared to other western nations.
They're lower middle class living pay check to paycheck but they've got a car and can scrape up enough money for Christmas presents and maybe a summer vacation so they think they're fine.
Brody Reed

It's not that fun to be honest, music videos and movies just make it look that way.
Henry Sanders

don't fall for this kike's lies.
Mason Martin
well I don't know, it always looks like they're having lots a fun.
Oliver Johnson
Theyre much worse.
Jonathan Walker
as they say on Jow Forums?
of course
Jaxon Morris
Why Poland would be even considered, that you noticed that?
Adrian Thompson
>well I don't know, it always looks like they're having lots a fun.
They only get hyped and act out for the music video. Most of the time it's just standing around and making small talk. It's boring and quiet. It's too hot or too cold depending on the weather. You don't have any money in your pocket. Maybe you can get some if you sell a few dime bags of weed. Then you just spend that money on shitty Chinese carry out food ( which is really just Koreans making a quick buck off the lack of food markets in poor neighborhoods) and if more of your friends come out, and it's the weekend, then that's when you buy a 40 oz or vodka or a bottle of Hennessy cognac.
Inevitably someone gets into a drunken argument and gets stabbed or shot.
Nicholas Brown

So the same as most people here then

Jason Campbell
Yep pretty much.
>be black

Kevin Clark
You're really mixing it upp aren't you today.
Asher Nelson
Serious?
Why 90% of people living in upper-middle class neighbourhoods in Sao Paulo are white?
Why 90% of people living in ghettos are blacks? Why 80% of people being murder are black?
Angel Reyes
Do you still live in a terrible neighborhood?
How dangerous are these areas for people who aren't from there?

Adam Walker
>Do you still live in a terrible neighborhood?
Yes, I don't hang out in my neighborhood anymore though. I always go to the nicer trendy parts of town for parties and dates.
>How dangerous are these areas for people who aren't from there?
Not very dangerous if you aren't coming in to sell drugs or start shit. It's fine to pass through if you're there for a reason, such as visiting someone or maybe there's the rare hole in the wall restaurant or carryout that serves decent food.
Christian Lewis
t. murderer
Henry Roberts
How safe it is as a white non-American to walk through a neighborhood like that?
Nathaniel Roberts
Why do you still live there?
Lack of opportunity to move or do you just like it there somehow?
I ask because you make it sound like it's depressing to live there.
Adrian Perez
If minorities have it so rough here why do over a million (overwhelmingly non-white) elect to move here every year?
Connor Cruz
America changes drastically depending on what area you are in
Jackson Torres
Is amazing these transplanted euros who live in Brazil complaining here
Here is where they live

I HATE YOU FUCKING EUROS!
Your time will come. For all whites around the world!! You will pay for your crimes!
God will make you people pay for all blood spilled by africans
Kevin Ramirez
>Why 80% of people being murder are black?
Murder by people of what race?
Thomas Hall
When i walk through a upper-middle class neighbour, sometimes i think i´m in Norway and not in Brazil. all blacks are just servants. i see so much light eyes and hair that is like i leave my country. I hate euros, hate, hate hate
Levi Adams
It's safe. No one will mess with you, Just be careful about flashing electronics, keep a tight grip onto your phone or camera if you're a photographer. I would advise against just being posted up in one spot for more than an hour.
This is America, after all, we get plenty of non black or latino people passing through to look at property or businesses, so you won't be a surprise. Most people are pretty chill. If you make friends and get invited to a party or cookout go for the full experience, enjoy the music, enjoy the food and booze. Flirt with a qt Black, Mexican, or Puerto Rican girl you might get lucky.
>Why do you still live there?
The house I have here is actually really nice because my dad spent years fixing it up. I do want to move but I want my first big move to be to a city outside of the U.S.
>I ask because you make it sound like it's depressing to live there.
lol it is very depressing. The neighborhoods legit look like they've been bombed. I'm comfortable because I grew up here and it's "normal" but it's annoying not being able to walk down the street while having every other dude try to sell you drugs or having the police randomly stop and search you. I don't have much in common with my neighbors outside of being black and living in the neighborhood or going to the same elementary or grade school, which is why I don't hang around outside here anymore.
Isaiah Russell
I see.
Sounds interesting.
Where would you like to move? Somewhere else in North America? Canada should be good enough eh
Also, it should be pretty easy to find a job teaching English in S. Korea or Taiwan, and it pays relatively well so it seems...
That is, if you want to go down that route, obviously.
Levi Martinez
It's good if you're a doctor, software engineer or some other white-collar occupation. Or if you have a government job. Everybody else is fucked.
Jayden Gutierrez
>Is exactly like Brazil:
Lmao. We're nothing like your hellohole
Nathaniel Jenkins
Thanks for the reply man
Camden Sanders
I already went to America to attend Angela Davis classes through a pan-africanism program.
And yes, your brown people and black live badly.
BUT WHITE PEOPLE TIME IS COMING!!
Ethan Allen
If you have to ask you'll probably get into trouble. If you're worried because they're poor you're probably gonna make it obvious and you'll be marked down as "rich." If you're putting emphasis on race they'll know and get pissed and/or think you're an easy target. Either way you'd be fucked eventually. If it's shifty you don't even wanna park there most of time, much less walk. Same as shit white neighborhoods except you'd stand out more. You're probably not even gonna get into a fight if don't start one, but I wouldn't call it safe by a long shot.
I mean my family has gotten robbed and had cars/houses broken into 10+ times in just a few years in "decent" neighborhoods. If it's genuinely safe I wouldn't call it terrible neighborhood at all, just a poor one. It's different for someone who grew up there vs a tourist but you'd have to be extremely lucky to not have any real complaints besides dealers and searches.
Chase Powell
Yes don't come. horrible.
Austin Butler
Think about if all brown and black people in this continent wake up at the same time!!
Anthony Edwards
you can walk down any street in my town and not have anyone try and sell you drugs, or whatever else you're describing.
Where are you even? Baltimore? St. Louis? LA?
there's more to the USA than that!
Adrian Perez
Nah, I'd prefer to live in Europe. I actually enjoy colder weather so somewhere far north. I also find European history, culture, and language to be extremely interesting especially in conjunction with or with respect to Americana.
I'm not that interested in Asia. I love the English language and wouldn't mind teaching it but I don't care for Asian languages. Plus they don't hire black people to teach English there or rather it's difficult to find a place that will hire you.
>mean my family has gotten robbed and had cars/houses broken into 10+ times in just a few years in "decent" neighborhoods.
Yes robberies and muggings happen. My house has been robbed and I've been mugged before too. Eventually you learn to protect your property and yourself better. They're doing a bad job of that and/or they're pissing their neighbors off really badly if they keep getting robbed. Yeah I know I'm victim blaming but eventually you've got to armor up.
>If it's genuinely safe I wouldn't call it terrible neighborhood at all, just a poor one.
No I legit live in one of the worst neighborhood in the country, that's not me trying to gloat, it's just to put emphasis on that anyone just passing through even as a tourist will be fine. I've been here since childhood. I've traveled to other terrible cities and neighborhoods in the country to visit family. No matter how bad a place it is there's a one in a million chance for you to be robbed or assaulted for just stopping by or passing through, extremely rare but not so rare that you should be unaware of yourself and your surroundings.
Nathaniel Nguyen
sad to hear that's how things have been for you, I've actually in the past forgotten to close my door when I went out on an errand to no ill effect in my neighborhood
Ryder Wilson
Yes I've been lucky enough to travel to nicer parts of the U.S. and to a few other near by tropical countries. That's what makes it doubly depressing. You come back from an amazing luxurious trip to a place where more than half of the houses are vacant and caved in.
Kevin Reyes
>black
yiiiikes
Jose Morales
I'm not sure what they're doing t.bh I wouldn't surprised if they are pissing people off. I think it's more about being obvious or unlucky since it's almost exclusively things like money and guns but mostly muggings in areas we don't live in. My main point is if you wouldn't do something in a shit area back home you shouldn't do it here. I've seen so many sheltered European tourists obsessed with going to the absolute worst places to "get to know the "real" America" whatever that means. Idk where you are but literally almost no one just walks around here unless they're dirt poor or a grown man. Kids play in the street and all that, but even teenagers barely wander. I know it's probably a grown man asking, but when someone asks if it's safe to just hang out I'd say no just in case.
We're probably just meaning different things. I don't mean it's dangerous, like I said a fight won't happen unless you look for one. But I wouldn't call a dark parking lot in a "good" area safe either.
Brody Martinez
To get to Canada.
Hunter Adams
Yeah we pretty much agree with each other. Many people are curious and when they ask I remind them that it's not a war zone and it's not like the movie or tv shows so that's what I mean by safe to visit. You can stop to see and maybe do some photography but there's no reason to be there for longer than a few minutes if you have no real purpose.
Jack Cook
and here.
Aaron Perry
For the most part it's a nice safe developed country but the worst parts of our cunt (OP's pic) are Brazil favela tier in terms of violence and the people you encounter.
Gavin Nguyen
Chicago is bad? huh?
I thought it'd have been a nice place, given it's such a famous city.
Jordan Rivera
It's not as bad as Jow Forums likes to say.
Charles Williams
There's a fair amount of dangerous areas there. It's not all bad though.
Luke Reyes
well maybe go to Venezuela if you want to feel home or Haiti
Jordan Wilson
Most of the city is just a normal city.
It just has a larger and more dangerous hood than the majority of large cities so it gets more attention.
Nicholas Williams
Is Detroit worse?
As far as Detroit goes, is it really that dangerous? Looking from outside it just looks like it's been abandoned all together....
What's so dangerous about it?
